    Engine Small Enough To Fit In A Carry On Bag

    Except 120hp is decent especially since it's most likely going into the fiesta. and it has 126 ft-lbs of torque... which for a car that size is pretty decent. I should also mention it's about 120hp per Liter of Displacement which in itself is pretty incredible. And americans have no right to...

    Audi Scores Fastest Electric Lap On The Nürburgring

    Porsche 911 turbo S starts at $160,000 US before any options are tacked on. Plus it is universally loved by the automotive press, critics and by a LOT of sports car enthusiasts because it's insanely fast (sub 3 second 0-60mph time), handles superbly well and is great fun to drive. Last time...

    Audi Scores Fastest Electric Lap On The Nürburgring

    Gotta love the germans for making green vehicles that are exciting! While 8.09 on the Green Hell isn't exactly supercar fast(though this is in a fair middle ground between the cobalt SS turbo and a regular audi R8), I still commend Audi for trying and actually doing this. What's the torque...

    Canadian Songwriters Want to Legalize File-Sharing

    Since we're on the subject of beer: Molson or Budwiser yes. We drink beer, not water ;) We also drink Coors Light but that's like drinking air. But it could be worse: Coors Light: Has more flavor than Kristen Stewart!

    Skyrim Minimum / Recommended PC Specs

    I could be wrong but nobody seems to point out that the game would NOT have DX11.. maybe DX9 is just a minimum recommendation but the game might actually have DX11 effects for max settings? Hey maybe the 6gb install is for "disk in tray" with option for a full install? Then there's the...

    VW Enine PC for Make A Wish Foundation

    You're my hero! Also, Didn't know the VW Type 2 at one point had a boxer 4, let alone made it's own boxer engine. Although small, it must have sounded awesome being a boxer engine! Good job on the build. Looks great, unique concept and it's for a great cause!

    Scientists: Particles Appear to Travel Faster Than Light

    And the neutrinos were NOT moving in a vacuum if I'm not mistaken, which makes that difference even more spectacular. Makes my Mustang seem REAL slow :(
